Determined to remain silent in CPI, with permission STF, entrepreneur Carlos Wizard the embargo awaited the public.

Not much to notice wandering CPI, hostage of old plans, but with a desire to examine new signs corruption scaled media.

The dumb contributor, if he speaks, will refute the senator’s premature question: “Did you participate in the parallel cabinet?”

The CPI rapporteur, foreseeing the futility of the upcoming meeting, addressed the Minister of Health during an interview with caustic words to the Minister of Health (“Keyroga is Pazueglio in a lab coat”) and the President of the Senate (“Rodrigo Pacheco” wants to paralyze the work of the CPI ”). Termination of an agreement Covaxin Health ministries, new allegations that have surfaced, PGR’s refusal to convict Bolsonara of malfeasance, Pacheco’s stance in favor of a parliamentary vacation (and against extending the investigation) and an over-impeachment request filed by the opposition. CPI already bottled periodically.

The magician was expected first, because his story arouses sympathy or curiosity. The eldest of seven siblings, the son of a hinterland traveling salesman who honored his father at CPI and learned English with Christian missionaries, ran a network of language teachers before his name entered the billionaire lists.

Businessman

In the influx of entrepreneurs outsiders From the ranks of Pocket Narist, with free admission to lavish halls, the Wizard initially introduced himself to CPI as a patriot: “I am determined to serve the country by fighting the pandemic and saving lives.” Later, on a video posted by the commission, she appeared voluntarily: “The General (Pazuello) assigned me to oversee major contracts, relying on my negotiating skills.”

In the aftermath of the 2018 elections, businessmen, mainly from the services and trade sectors, were attracted by extreme right-wing populist slogans, ideological polarization that eases conflict of values, and invectives directed against traditional politics. Bolsonaro he personally chose who was a friendly businessman, a potential ally, or, conversely, an unreliable adversary.

The undoubted presence of “peripheral” entrepreneurs in the current games of influence cannot be equated with direct political investment, which has always been practiced by large industrial entrepreneurs. Bringing these “new” entrepreneurs closer to politics is about vanity and the personal gains they expect, and does not follow the logic of protecting shared economic interests.

During that brief period of flirting with a modest job at the Ministry of Health, the Wizard defended the count of the murdered. COVID-19, hinted that governors were overstating the pandemic to get more federal funds, and announced that Brazil would be flooded with chloroquine.

First, he rejected measures to block transmission of the virus, but later quickly argued in favor of vaccination as the shortest route to resuming his and other economic activities.

With an access password, along with Luciano Hang, owner of Havana, he spearheaded a sanitation-softening marathon to approve covid vaccines and authorize private-sector immunization purchases.

They pressured Anvisa, the National Congress, the ministries of health and economy and, of course, the Planalto Palace. In the end, they were unable to vaccinate their employees at the front, they did not deliver the promised vaccines to SUS, and they were heavily criticized by business leaders who called the event “breaking the line.”

There are a number of events that can be intertwined: the transformation of former herd immunity and early treatment activists into vaccination enthusiasts; rapid Senate and House processing of a bill that paved the way for private vaccine brokers; the sudden speed of procurement of vaccinations by the Ministry of Health; a trip of entrepreneurs to India to wait for orders; a bizarre payment of a corporate boleto to the government coffers, and a condemnation of a $ 1 bribe for the dose the government should receive.

These are the dominoes that should be lined up according to the CPI.
